From short and tame to long and wild, from the chin of George Clooney to the members of Duck Dynasty, all beards have one thing in common – they itch. They dry out, they flake. And so facial hair products were born, magic elixirs that keep beards feeling softer than a kitten’s behind. Ok, so maybe they’re not quite magic, but they’re packed with the moisturizing oils that your skin needs to grow a healthy, shiny beard.

It’s important to look for products that contain natural ingredients so that you don’t harm your skin with harsh chemicals. Honest Amish is a brand that claims to be all-natural, with their Classic Beard Oil receiving consistently good reviews. But it’s not enough to go by stars alone – one man’s miracle product may be another man’s dud, so read carefully.

In this product review, we’ll take a look at the ingredients, price, and overall value of the product so that you can decide if this really is the best product for your facial hair.

100% Natural Ingredients

If you’ve done any research into ingredients before reading this Honest Amish Classic review, you might have already seen a lot of talk about jojoba and argan oil. If those are your two must have essential ingredients, then Honest Amish Classic Beard Oil has you covered, containing both golden jojoba and virgin argan oil.

What’s so special about this duo, anyway? I hadn’t even heard of jojoba before I began researching ingredients, but the more I looked into it, I realized what I’ve been missing out on. The word “oil” is often associated with clogged pores, but jojoba actually works to unclog excess oil from hair follicles, leaving your skin feeling moisturized without feeling greasy.

Argan ingredients serves a similar purpose, helping your facial hair to lock in moisture so that it doesn’t dry up and frizz halfway through the day. A combination of jojoba and argan not only make your facial hair feel better, but look better as well, keeping fly-away hairs down and beard dandruff away. This is because they’re both rich in vitamin E, a nutrient that’s easily absorbed into the skin where it gets to work repairing damaged hair and skin cells.

Avocado, Almond, and Apricot, Oh My!

Seeing a bunch of different names of fruits, nuts, and vegetables on an ingredient label means the product must be good for us, right? Honest Amish’s Classic contains avocado, virgin pumpkin seed, sweet almond, apricot kernel, and kukui oil, but what do these healthy sounding oils actually do for your skin?

Luckily, Honest Amish seems to have done their research, because each of these ingredients is beneficial to hair and skin, with the scientific data to back it up. Avocado oil contains fatty acids, a natural component of our cells that helps to keep water in and cell waste out. Apricot oil is rich in vitamin A, another great natural hair and skin moisturizer.

Sweet almond is a must have ingredient in any good product. Seriously, don’t even mess with products that leave this out – this is the ingredient is the most effective in preventing skin irritation.

Be wary of grooming products use a host of fragrant flowery oils – they may smell lovely, but are highly irritating and may even leave you with a rash. Sweet almond oil is a no-nonsense nutrient that deeply conditions your beard, protects your skin from damage, and is safe to use even on the most sensitive skin types.

Our Final Verdict

To wrap up this Honest Amish Classic review, we were thoroughly impressed by this product’s hair and skin benefits and affordable price. Not only does it effectively moisturize and nourish the skin underneath the facial hair, it even gets rid of embarrassing flaky beard dandruff caused by dry skin. The only drawback for some might be the scent – while not overpowering in any way, if you can’t stand even the slightest whiff of black licorice, you might want to seek out a different product.

What excited us even more than the product’s 100% natural formula, ability to soften wiry beards and calm inflamed skin was the price. In a market full of expensive products, the Honest Amish Classic is a quality product that won’t break the bank. Plus, with a dropper tool built into the cap of the bottle, no drop goes to waste.
